Extech 480172 - AC Line Splitter
Allows clamp meter to measure AC Current on a 2-wire or 3-wire power cord
This Extech 480172 Line Splitter provides a fast and easy way to “open” standard 120 Volt AC electrical lines, eliminating the need to cut off the plug and separate the conductors. When connected between a 120 Volt AC outlet and a device under test, this splitter separates the hot/live conductor from the neutral and ground, which enables users to measure AC current up to 15 Amp on two-wire or three-wire lines using a clamp meter. This splitter also features two Voltage Test jacks so that voltage can be measured using a multimeter.
AC Line Splitter
This Extech Line Splitter provides a fast and easy way to “open” standard 120V AC electrical lines, eliminating the need to cut off the plug and separate the conductors.
How it Works
When connected between a 120V AC outlet and a device under test, this splitter separates the hot/live conductor from the neutral and ground, which enables users to measure AC current – up to 15 amps on a two-wire or three-wire lines — using a clamp meter.
Dual Readings
The 480172 provides two openings — one opening provides one-to-one current measurements, and the other provides times-ten (X10) readings so that low-current readings will display with higher resolution on a clamp meter.
Voltage Checker
This splitter also features two Voltage Test jacks so that voltage can be measured using a multimeter.
